Why your typical magazine fitness regimen is not likely to work.
This warrants a snatch joke. Example: looks like she’s deep in the snatch.

Not really the best of days. Sat through a three-hour high school graduation ceremony (no comments on that) so my hips were pretty stiff and had to take an extended warm-up. Left the house a little later than I had anticipated and forgot food so went into the gym more or less on an empty tank. Made all my lifts but felt like shit doing them.
Warm-up
Squat: pretty good for these despite the tiredness. A little bit of falling forward on the three-wheeler. Quite minor though.
135x5x2 sets, 185x3, 225x3, 250x5, 280x3, 315x1
Deadlift: first set with regular grip, all others with snatch-grip. Left the gym after that, no energy for power shrugs.
5 sets of 10 with 165
Warm-up
Bench Press: all reps paused, although the pause had varying lengths.
45x5x2 sets, 95x5, 125x5, 140x3, 160x1
Press: 5 sets of 10 with 65
Pendlay Row: 5 sets of 10 with 165
Hammer Curl/Lying Triceps Extension Superset:
Curl - 3 sets of 8 with 25s (each hand, with fat-grips)
Ext - 3 sets of 8 with 75 (EZ-Curl bar)
Warm-up
Power Clean: all the fun. Maybe 135 next week. Because one plate.
65x3, 85x3, 105x3, 115x3, 125x3
Deadlift: quite pleased. Hook grip for 280 and mixed for 315. 315 was quite smooth.
135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 245x5, 280x3, 315x1
Squat: dat hip drive.
5 sets of 10 with 165
Ab Wheel: 5 sets of 12
Nothing special today.
Warm-up
Press: almost let the bar get out in front of me for the last set. If it did, it wouldn’t have locked out.
45x5x2 sets, 75x5, 90x3, 100x5, 110x3, 120x1
Bench Press: 5 sets of 10 with 85
Dumbbell Row: 5 sets of 10 with 65 (each side)
Barbell Curl: 3 sets of 10 with 55 (fat-grip)
Overall pretty good. I feel like a couple of reps were high though. And that’s never a good feeling.
Warm-up
Squat: some reps I think were high. Also some slight hip shift on my last set. I’d like to say how much I like doing triples over 5s.
135x5x2 sets, 185x5, 225x3, 265x3, 280x3, 295x3
Deadlift: used a snatch-grip. Dat upper back tightness.
5 sets of 10 with 165
Power Shrug/Plank Superset:
Shrug - 135x5, 225x5 245x5x3 sets
Plank - 5 sets of 45 seconds

A little paranoid about my knee, so didn’t warm-up with squats. Gave my quads a good rolling though. Feeling okay today…
Warm-up
Bench Press: nice and solid. Solid pauses (I think) for each rep too.
45x5x4 sets, 95x5, 115x3, 135x3, 140x3, 150x3
Press: good pauses on most reps too.
5 sets of 10 with 65
Pendlay Row: DOMS
5 sets of 10 with 155
Hammer Curl/Rip Extension Superset:
Curl - 3 sets of 10 with fat 22.5s
Extension - 3 sets of 10 with 75
